People with a user’s role as Super Admins can add and remove users under Users on the website and still select the Skip Confirmation Email option.
Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities
Add New
To add people you will need a WSU email address or friend account information.
On the Users page select Add New at the top of the webpage. On the Add New User page choose between Add Existing User or Add New User. Start with adding as an existing user before trying to add a new user.
Important: User Name Information
Please only use the WSU NetID or Friend account information (the whole email address) in the Email or Username field. The WordPress login uses OKTA for authentication.
User Name Examples
WSU Net ID:
Example: butch.t.cougar
Friend Account Information:
Example: joe.vandal@uidaho.edu
Note:
- Add a friend account as a New User
- Enter the whole email address
Role
Once a user is added decide on the user’s role. Under Role select the appropriate role in the dropdown list.
Skip Confirmation Email
Important: Select the check box for Skip Confirmation Email.
By not selecting this checkbox an email is sent to the new user to confirm being added. The links in that email, autogenerated by WordPress, do not have a login link that works with how we’ve set the website login and security. If the new user can’t log in, you will have to wait until their confirmation email expires before the new user can be added again but this time select the Skip Confirmation Email checkbox.
Accessibility Role
The Accessibility Role works in conjunction with the User Roles. Select the appropriate Accessibility Role that works with the selected User Role.
Next Steps for New Users
Direct your new user to the Next Steps at the bottom of the Request Access to a Website.
Remove User
On the Users page select Remove below the Username.
